March 16, 2010: Important Changes to the Civil Rights Data Collection.
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has made important changes to the 2009-10
Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC). New CRDC data items will enhance OCR's
ability to ensure equal educational opportunity for the Nation's students,
and provide a valuable resource for school administrators, policymakers,
researchers, and parents.

The new data items cover critical topics such as students' participation
in algebra and other college-preparatory subjects, retention, teacher experience/absenteeism,
school counselors, school funding, harassment, restraint/seclusion, SAT/ACT
participation, desegregations plans, access to kindergarten and pre-kindergarten
programs, and additional information related to discipline. Most of the student
data collected by the CRDC will be disaggregated by race, sex, disability,
and limited English proficient status. Along with these changes, OCR streamlined
the survey by removing several other data items. For 2009-10, the CRDC sample
will expand from 6,000 to 7,000 school districts, which includes all districts
with over 3,000 students. The survey, which will be conducted in two parts
(Spring and Fall 2010), will collect data for the 2009-10 school year.

OCR has also launched a new website, http://ocrdata.ed.gov,
to display the CRDC data. The new website will make the data more accessible
to a wide variety of users. The website contains CRDC data from 2000, 2004
and 2006, and will, in the future, include the 2009-10 CRDC data. The website
enhancement was undertaken as part of the Department's on-going commitment
to transparency and accessibility.

December 29, 2008: The Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (Amendments Act), effective January 1, 2009, amends the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and includes a conforming amendment to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Rehabilitation Act) that affects the meaning of the term disability in Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (Section 504). The Amendments Act retains the definition of disability under Section 504 and the ADA but emphasizes that the definition should be interpreted broadly. Among other things, the Amendments Act directs that the ameliorating effects of mitigating measures (other than ordinary eyeglasses or contact lenses) not be considered in determining whether an individual has a disability; expands the scope of "major life activities" by providing a non-exhaustive list of general activities and a non-exhaustive list of major bodily functions; clarifies that an impairment that is episodic or in remission is a disability if it would substantially limit a major life activity when active; and clarifies the meaning of "regarded as" having a disability, including that individuals "regarded as" having a disability are not entitled to reasonable accommodations or reasonable modifications.

OCR is evaluating the impact of the Amendments Act on OCR's enforcement responsibilities under Section 504 and under Title II of the ADA, including whether any changes in regulations, guidance, or other publications are appropriate.
